Pronunciations

Some of the pronunciations the kids had as they learnt talking:

neha would use "tha" for "ka". That was the root cause of a lot of fun during her second year I would make her say karnataka, karkala, current and she would go tharnathatha, thaarthala, tharrent

hickory dickory dock, mouse ran up the clock
hithory dithory doth, mouth enath tha naath

even today, I ask nidhi to say the address of our house and she goes uttarahalli main door (instead of road)

when the kids were about two years old or so, we took them to wonder la, the water park near bidadi (its really good). It was us + seena's family + vatsa's family that went there. nidhi got scared and did not try most of the rides. she created enough tantrums to ensure that I didnt get enough rides either. neha sat next to vinitha in one of the rides that looked like a ant hill & a train going through it. She was pretty excited about that particular ride (cos she sat in that without any adult next to her & we praised her for that) and whenever somebody would ask her about wonderla, she would say "initha attha pattha thoothondu iddhe" (vinitha akka pakka koothkond iddhe)
